+Q0 is still slow for many scenes, and you can't do things like rotating 
the camera around the scene with a good framerate.

My ideal POV-Ray GUI is: a text editor and a live GPU-rendered preview. 
Probably with the ability to move the camera with mouse and/or keyboard. 
But I definitely don't need to click on objects.
